-I'm inclined to have you argue your motion,
and then I'll consider late-arriving petitions.
-I'm sorry for wasting the court's time, your honor,
but it's impossible for me to continue with this hearing.
-And why is that, Ms. Wexler?
-Because I'm no longer an attorney.
-I'm sorry. What?
-I gave notice to the bar two hours ago.
-Hey, welcome back, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We're here with Rhea Seehorn.
That was a clip from "Better Call Saul."
You directed a wonderful episode this year.
So you're directing your roommates --
not just your co-stars, but your roommates.
-I did. -How was that when you came home
after a long day's work with your cast?
-Well, I mean we already talk about the scenes,
as I said, ad nauseam, anyway.
So I kind of had it cleared with them to discuss the scenes
we did. That was episode 604.
So Patrick had the great therapy scene as Hamlin
and it was when Jimmy's dressed as Hamlin,
driving his car with Wendy and all of that,
and so we discussed them at length,
but by the time we got to set, yeah,
they kind of laughed in my face.
-How did you -- -[ Laughs ]
-And you also had to direct yourself
a great deal on that episode. -Yeah.
-That was a big Kim episode.
Did you find that difficult or was it nice to sort of take
your mind out of both places in order to do the whole job?
-It is challenging, and I did some press where people were
like, "Wow, you really wanted to direct yourself a lot,
'cause there's huge Kim scenes in that."
But that's not what it was.
It was just this jigsaw puzzle of the calendar
of which directors can leave the writer's room.
We have a lot of writer-directors
and producer-directors, and so I just got the episode I got.
But they put -- you know, they put a huge infrastructure
in place, like there's no time to watch playback,
plus that would -- -Yeah.
-I know there's some actors that watch themselves
and then go back to set. I could never.
I could never. -Yeah.
-It's just like you're just constantly reminded of like,
"Oh, that's your face." -Oh, 100%.
-That's what it still looks like.
-Oh, yeah. I would walk out and be like,
"My only note is I think we need to stop doing this forever."
-100%, yeah.
Like, I can feel good about the choices I'm making as an actor,
but for anybody old enough to remember answering machines,
that very first time you made the voicemail and you hear
your voice and you're so alarmed.
It's like, "Seriously? That is what everyone's listening to?"
-Yeah, you're like, "It sounded like this the whole time?"
-Yeah, no one told me? -And nobody told me?
[ Laughter ]
-Nobody has said, "Seth, seriously,
don't ever speak again." That's what it's like.
-It's only because you would leave a voicemail
and you assumed that your friends would call and be like,
"Hey, has something happened to you?
You sound super [bleep] up on that voicemail."
[ Laughter ]
But they're all just like, "Hey, it's me.
Just calling." Like nobody's taken aback, yeah.
-Because they're like, "Seth has sounded like crap forever."
-Forever. -That's always the way
he sounded like.
-Are you relieved that you're almost now where,
you know, I guess four episodes away from you not having
to worry about giving anything away?
Because the longer people have watched this show,
the more I feel they've been desperate
to see how everything ends. -Yeah.
-And you know.
And has it been exhausting trying to keep those secrets
or has it been fun?
-It's been fun, because even when people do say,
"So what happens to Kim?" Or whatever,
they don't actually want you to answer.
They would stop me even if I started to speak.
-Yeah.
-But I am looking forward to having a much bigger book club.
It's like I read this book by myself and I don't get to talk
to anybody about what'd you think of the ending?
So as we roll out these episodes and the remaining episodes,
of course, I can't spoil whether you'll see me again or not,
but they're bananas.
Nobody actually tracked exactly how thoughtfully and intricately
this comes together and the different storylines
that play out, so I'm looking forward
to talking to people about it.
-It was such a cool show because, you know, when I heard
they were doing a prequel to "Breaking Bad", you know,
I was like, "That seems strange,"
and it has been -- I didn't -- I will just say I thought
it was a bad idea. -Yeah, sure.
-And I can say that now because my instincts are often wrong
and I was totally wrong here.
And it was so great to again see cast members
from "Breaking Bad" that we love.
I mean, what you did, what Patrick did, what Michael Mando
did -- like it was so wonderful to see.
I'm really deeply sad it's almost over, but I can't wait to
see it, and I'm so happy for you.
-Thanks. -Thank you for being back again.
You guys, one more time, Rhea Seehorn.
A new episode of the last season of "Better Call Saul" airs
this Monday at 9:00 P.M. on AMC.
We'll be right back with Jeremy Allen White.
